Today is Monday, 2026-09-21 — a good day to look up at the sky and remember where you stand in the turning of the year.
🌙 The Moon Tonight
The Moon is Waxing Gibbous (74% illuminated) and waxing. It is 10.4 days through its cycle. The next new moon falls on 2026-10-10 — a natural moment for intention-setting and beginnings.
🕯️ The Wheel of the Year
The next sabbat is Mabon (Sep 21-24) — Tomorrow, on 2026-09-23. Autumn equinox. A second time of balance and the second harvest — reflection, gratitude and preparing stores for the dark half of the year.
☀️ Today’s Energy
Today is Monday, under the light of Máni — the Moon. the Moon’s own day: intuition, dreams and the mysteries of the night. Diana, Artemis and Selene; Mani drives the moon’s chariot in Norse lore. Companion rune: Pertho (ᛈ), keeper of hidden things.
ᚱ Rune of the Day — ᚺ Hagalaz
Keywords: hail, disruption. The storm-grain that clears the air — endings that make room for seeds.
💫 Daily Reflection
Today, under the gaze of Máni, the waxing Gibbous Moon grows fuller, illuminating 74% of its face as it builds towards completion. This Monday, on the eve of Mabon, we stand at a threshold, a moment of balance before the season turns. The harvest is nearly gathered, a natural ending to a cycle of growth. Like the rune Hagalaz, a clearing storm-grain, this time speaks of necessary shifts. What needs to be released or swept away to make room? These endings are not merely closures, but fertile ground for new seeds. Embrace the clearing, for it prepares the way for fresh beginnings, just as the Earth readies itself for winter’s quiet slumber and the eventual spring.
